Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Asbestos garage roof removal near Bucks Horn Oak
Old cement garage roofs crack, grow moss and leak. Removal is often the first step to a new roof or a garage conversion. Whether it’s garages in a row or block and double garages, we cover downpipes, corrugated roof sheets and cement gutters.
In a village like Bucks Horn Oak, garages sit alongside barns, stables and outbuildings with similar cement roofs, so it’s worth dealing with them together. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.
